Morphology - A Resume Part 2

 Here is my resume continuing the last part about morphology.

Affixation

Affixation is a morphological process whereby a bound morpheme, an affix, is attached to a morphological base. Here are some affixes:

1. Prefix

Prefix is a group of letters that added in the beginning of the root and it can change the meaning of it. For examples: +Re  → Replay, Resend

•      +Pre →Prewedding

•      Hyperactive

•      Missunderstand

•      Enlarge

•      Unbelieve

2. Suffixes

Suffixes are word endings that add a certain meaning to the word.  An affix attached to the end of a base, root or stem that changes the meaning or grammatical function of the word. 

Derivational:

•      Heaviness

•      Loosen

•      Statement

•      Forgetful

Inflectional:

•      Books

•      Pens

•      Apples

•      Plays 

3, Infixes

Infix is a type of affix that can be used within the base form of a word, or affix is used into the middle of a word. For examples:

•      Cupful→ Cupsful, added by s as plural

•      Son in law → Sons in law

Compounding

    Compounding is the process of putting words together to build a new one that ''does not denote two things, but one'' and that is ''pronounced as one unit''.

    A compound is a word formed from two or more words. The words in a compound are often hyphenated, but sometimes they are spelled as one word (a closed compound) or as two words (an open compound),

Reduplication

    Another type of morphological change that does not involve affixation is reduplication, a process by which all or part of a word is copied or duplicated to indicate a change in meaning or usage. In Standar Indonesia (SI), the national language of Indonesia, there are three types of reduplication: full, partial, and rhyming reduplication.
